"Tao propagates life; Te provides fecundity; species shapes life; affinity brings to completion. That is why all living things revere Tao and kneel down to Te. Tao inspires reverence and Te inspires awe because they give no commands and yet nature continues on and on. Thus Tao creates life, and Te conceives, grows, fosters, shelters, comforts, nurtures and protects it. Producing but not possessing, Acting but not controlling, Growing but not slaughtering, These are Mysterious Te."
